Either there is revolution in Iran or tel Aviv will get chipped away.
You’re comparing apples and pears.

Population is not relevant when the exchange that has been taking place is missiles. The relevant metrics are technology, industrial capacity and capable allies willing to sell you what you can’t produce domestically. Exactly how do you envisage Iran ‘chipping away’ at Israel? Iran itself had hoped to do so via Hamas and Hezbollah, not via some long march through northern Iraq and Syria. Did you notice that wasn’t quite working out for them?
